i'm from toronto, canada. yourself?

have you been able to work out a budget for spending money. i've been reading that things are relatively cheap in turkey but still at a loss.

I'm coming from New York. What's your name? I haven't really done a budget. Was just going to bring my atm card and hope I don't go broke! Am going to Greece afterwards too, so it's going to be an expensive trip for me.

that's awesome...are you touring through greece with contiki as well? just as a precaution i've read about some blogs online where people have explained troubles with their atm cards in turkey. some experiences of machines not dispensing money, yet their accounts are debited anyhow. i doubt this is the case for everyone but just something i read and giving you a heads-up. my name's jasmine b.t.w. guess i'll see ya on the 4th!
